Dresses come with a lot of hemlines, but what really sets one dress apart from the next is the neckline. When you walk into a room, people are going to be paying close attention to your face - and, especially if you're wearing a lot of bling like necklaces and earrings, their eyes will be focusing on the top half of your body. Luckily, you have dozens of choices when it comes to picking the right neckline.

If you're well-endowed, you want to be careful that you don't pick a dress that shows off too much. You want to look classy, not trashy. That doesn't mean you have to stay away from flirty cuts and fun bodices, but your figure can support a little extra fabric. Go ahead, pick out that dress with cap sleeves, thick straps or even a halter. It'll look fabulous on you, and prevent an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction on the dance floor.

If you're a little more petite up top, a strapless look could be just the ticket. Sweetheart necklines look fresh and feminine, but they also help accentuate a small bust by creating curves. Show off your small frame in a fitted dress and leave your shoulders bare! If you want a little extra support, thin straps are a great compromise.

Women of all sizes can pull off fun and unique necklines, and the one-shouldered look has been especially trendy lately. Feeling a little bold? Go ahead and try on a dress with just one strap - it'll be sure to grab attention.

We have a fabulous selection of straps that hook onto any strapless bra to give you the extra support you might need. Or just to make a more simple dress more dazzling!
